The debut DVD from Thomas Trotter – one of the world’s greatest organists – and the first DVD release from Regent Records. An opportunity to enjoy, both visually and aurally, Thomas Trotter’s artistry and staggering technique in a celebration of town hall virtuosity, on the great concert hall organ with which he is intimately acquainted.
Features a highly entertaining and varied programme of organ pieces from the heart of the town hall tradition, including Thalben-Ball’s Variations on a theme of Paganini played almost entirely on the pedals.
Extra features include a biographical interview with Thomas Trotter and a guide to the Town Hall organ.
Box contains both a DVD Video (performance in 5.1 surround sound), audio CD, and a 16 page booklet with notes on the music, the Town Hall, and a newly-written article on the history of the organ by Nicholas Thistlethwaite.
“Trotter displays his mastery of tonal colouring but there is also a rhythmic vitality that upstages his competitors in these works." Gramophone Jan 2011
"Trotter's performances are wonderfully dextrous" Guardian 21.10.10
